Most Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the book called The Three Worlds, published in 1877 by N.H. Barbour and Charles T. Russell, was the first publication Charles Russell took part in publishing.
That is not true!
In 1872 five years before The Three Worlds was published, Charles T. Russell and his father J.L. Russell published The Evening Prayer.
Thanks WTUnderground!
Wow, what a find! Thanks for sharing.
Page 3: "Now to thee our songs we raise...Lord accept our evening praise...Send thy blessing from above..."
Did he receive his blessing or what? He received "light" that the last days began in 1799, Christ's parousia in 1874, his institution as heavenly King in 1878 and Armageddon in 1914...oh no, 1915.
Errr...wait a minute...

Not news. There's a photo of it and a short discussion of the Russell's music publishing business in Schulz and de Vienne, A Separate Identity. http://www.lulu.com/shop/b-w-schulz/a-separate-identity-organizational-identity-among-readers-of-zions-watch-tower-1870-1887/paperback/product-21546337.html
